Nah, it's just a coincidence. There must be loads of people with that name who would submit questions to RBQ. :lol:

All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Well done Sparkout on spotting this... :D :D
We think that they were just intrigued by the name and couldn't resist featuring a Brain to launch the Brain of Britain! Though they didn't make any comment.
It was a neat question and I was still working my way through it when they bounced in with the solution :lol: :lol:
The advantage of listening on playback/Sounds is that you can pause the sound to try and work out the answer before they give it away...
